UChicago Medicine 2nd Annual Chicago Neurotrauma Symposium 2024

Event starts: 09/20/2024 – 8:00am

Event ends: 09/21/2024 – 1:00pm

Join us to take your approach to traumatic brain injury (TBI) management to the next level. This symposium will bridge critical knowledge gaps, empowering you with the latest guidelines and insights essential for delivering top-tier patient care. By immersing yourself in this vital topic, you’ll gain invaluable expertise that directly translates into improved patient outcomes, particularly in cases of severe TBI. Our focus on patient-centered outcomes ensures that every discussion and discovery is rooted in real-world impact.
Your time at the symposium will also help drive innovation and forge meaningful collaborations. Through dynamic presentations and interactive case discussions, you’ll lay the groundwork for transformative advancements in the field.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join forces with fellow clinicians, educators, and researchers in shaping the future of trauma care. Register now and be at the forefront of revolutionizing brain trauma management!

Target Audience

This activity is designed for a multidisciplinary cohort of clinicians, clinical research methodologists, and community members committed to filling the gaps in firearm-inflicted brain injury (FIBI) management.

Learning Objectives

After this activity, participants will be able to:

Recognize the most recent guidelines in PBI management;

Identify key knowledge gaps in FIBI and avenues for further research;

State high-priority clinical questions about FIBI necessitating further investigation;

Outline an effective multidisciplinary approach for the acute resuscitation and management of individuals affected by FIBI, incorporating insights from multiple medical specialties;

Appraise available options for acute neurosurgical and neurocritical care interventions to optimize neurological outcomes for patients with FIBI integrating evidence-based practices and patient-centered approaches;

Evaluate various research methodologies for investigating FIBI, considering their effectiveness and the unique challenges of this injury type.
